This is totally unrelated to 911blr BUT MY HOUSE WENT ON THE MARKET THIS MORNING AND WE ALREADY HAVE THREE REQUESTS FOR A SHOWING BEFORE THE FIRST OPEN HOUSE

[giantkillerjack]

Today I learned that, pound for pound, weasels have one of the strongest bites in the animal kingdom.

Then, upon further investigation of that family of animals, including wolverines and honey badgers and otters and stoats, I was reminded once again that this whole family of animals was created on the 8th day of creation, when God woke up and chose Violence.

with what happened in american football on monday ive never been more sure that

1. the euros 2020 game between denmark and finland should have been indefinitely postponed after christians cardiac arrest. it was absolutely harrowing for both the teams, family on the side of the pitch and everyone else present in the stadium and for play to be resumed was disrespectful

2. if death or life changing brain and/or spinal injuries are so common in a sport that the sports brutality is a selling point it should not be allowed to continue without a complete overhaul

The Devil's Minion / Interview With The Vampire

"What ties this wolf to this lamb, she figures, is the fact that it hasn’t eaten it. Painful mystery of the gift that returns through reflection: what the wolf loves in the lamb is its own goodness. It’s thanks to the lamb that the wolf accedes to the plane of love—the love that gives of itself without hope, without calculation, without response, but that nevertheless gives of itself, seeing itself give of itself. The wolf given to a lamb of the Griniov type who doesn’t even notice the enormity of the gift—that’s really love. There remains the infinite solitude of the wolf, invisible and unrecognized except by itself. What interest does Pougatchov have in not eating the lamb? The ascetic and dangerous interest of self-love. The lover loves the beloved, which is the occasion for generous love. But thereafter—thereafter there is the aftermath. Now the wolf can no longer break away from the lamb, for the lamb retains, for better or worse, traces of the gift. That which is given in love can never be taken back. It is me my entire self that I give with the gift of love. This is why the wolf can’t stop loving the lamb, the chosen one. Repository of the wolf. All of the wolf. That’s how love can ruin the lover." - translation of Hélène Cixous' The Love of the Wolf

Chuuya looked at his face, then broke out into laughter. “You really are the worst. Don't let your plan fail and kill us both or I'll kill you, Dazai.” Dazai laughed as well. “Sounds good. Let's go, Chuuya.”

FANFICTION MASTERPOST

Hi, my name is Jay and I like to write gay vampire smut.

My AO3 account is brandedforeverlame

I am currently publishing a Devil's Minion fanfic series entitled 'If You Had Life Eternal'.

Almost all my fics are Rated E. All with Armand x Daniel as the main pairing unless otherwise stated.

1. Loving You's A Bloodsport

(4016 words)

Post 2x08 turning fic.

After Louis leaves the apartment in Dubai to head to NOLA, Armand decides to reveal all to Daniel.

2. Lestat and Daniel's Grand Adventure (Lessons In How To Provoke Your Maker)

(29,562 words) multichapter. COMPLETE. Lestat and Daniel friendship buddy fic.

It's been one year since Daniel was turned and he still hasn't heard from his maker.

Daniel decides (against his better judgement) to reach out to the only other immortal he knows besides Louis for help to track down Armand.

Also please check out the absolutely awesome fanart my lovely friend Anna @once-delight made for this fic right here. Anna is also the official beta reader for this fic.

3. My kingdom for a kiss upon his shoulder

(3,788 words)

San Francisco, 1978:

Daniel makes a spur of the moment decision and Armand reacts accordingly.

4. Arms Tonite

(4,760 words)

Yes. The fisting fic -

It lay on their kitchen bench, framed in golden light which streamed in through the window of their Tuscan apartment.

“Uh… whose arm is that?”

~~

Daniel has never been fisted and when Armand offers to change that, Daniel can't help but make a comment that brings out the Gremlin™️

5. To All Besotted Souls

(2,564 words)

The first time Armand and Daniel have sex during the chase years.

Pompeii Ruins, Naples, 1976

And now he was here - waiting on this strange demon with whom he was pretty sure he was in love with.

Could you fall in love with the monster under your bed?

Could you fall in love with a guillotine blade as it hung over your neck?

6. My Casual God

(1854 words)

Rashid!Armand x Daniel smut. Before the reveal.

Daniel saw an image of Rashid wearing that fucking low cut v neck black shirt. His dick twitched in interest and he squeezed it gently

Fuck. Wow, Ok. He was going there apparently.

7. Pass the Nirvana

(1590 words)

Daniel has a pussy + impact play

If Daniel was sleeping and Armand wanted his body it was a no brainer.

Wake him the fuck up!

~~

In which Daniel gets a little more than he imagined.

8. So Glad To Meet You (Angeles)

WIP. Multichapter (2 up to far)

Based around my OC Tyler Molloy - Daniel's Grandson. DM as background pairing but focused on Tyler's story and Molloy family bonding/issues/dynamics

Daniel Molloys grandson, Tyler, had an escape plan. He was getting the fuck out of New York and to a fresh start in Los Angeles where he could finally live authentically as himself. He just had to steal his Step Dad's credit card, book a flight, and tell NO ONE where he was going until he got there

Especially not Aunty Kate...

Or Daniel and Armand.

What could go wrong?

--------

And there's plenty more on it's way. I'm almost always writing and love to talk to any fellow DM writers. Please feel free to follow/ask/dm me :)

Drizzt and Cattie-brie and Zaknafein meeting Maedhros and Fingon would be an absolute trip:

1. The drow would be absolutely shocked and SHOOK that Maedhros and Fingon are married and to no other. Basically it isn't a case of homophobia but "they let YOU OWN each other?????"

2. Maedhros would meet Cattie-brie once and immediately become very fond of her and acquiesce to any of her demands because she reminds him so strongly of his mother Nerdanel.

3. Zaknafein and Maedhros outdoing each other with dark humor, nihilism and sarcasm almost as if it's a competition (it probably is)

4. Drizzt is put out by Fingon because "for one who is so old and has killed so many, he sure acts younger than his years".

5. Cattie-brie and Fingon are best friends and love doing stupid ill advised shit together much to the chagrin of their Quiet Brooding Worrywart Husbands.

6. Sparring becomes a bloodsport very quickly but Zaknafein and Drizzt are happy to have worthy opponents that can actually match them.

7. The first time Maedhros sees Briennelle-Zaharina he starts crying inexplicably. That's how Zaknafein finds out about his crimes: "I am responsible for the death of half elves such as this".

8. They get too drunk and start telling stories of their murders. Cattie-brie turns pale and leaves the room. Bruenor is passed out on the couch.

9. Zaknafein is MAD at Fëanor for "sacrificing such a good and noble son to such a vain cause". Maedhros secretly appreciates this. Zaknafein knows anyway.

10. All the elves sympathizing with each other over "did YOUR noble house screw you over TOO??"

[sadboimetal]

First thoughts post-Wembly show

1. AMAZING OBVIOUSLY

2. Poor baby Vessel losing his voice about a quarter of the way through. He was a real trooper though and sounded great despite the obvious strain. I'm sure it meant alot to him that the entire arena was there to back him up.

2. Ohmygod the new masks and costumes are fucking amazing we super called it

3. Uh the dancers?! They killed it and Vessel really showed more of his performance chops with the choreography he had planned with 👋

4. The fucking curling weights oh my god what a goober.

5. You can tell there was obvious melancholy because the tour for the year has now concluded but it seemed more like a celebration than anything. I loved that the whole crew got to come out and bask in the praise for all their hard work

6. "The boys are back in town" being the song that was playing while everyone was leaving is real cheeky I'm ngl

EDIT

7. Iii is back and looked hot af

8. PROJECKT ATLANTIC was a decent success I still got my blue sticker!

9 HE PLAYED BLOODSPORT OMG I CRIED SO HARD

Im sure I have more things to say but this is the initial thought dump!

[hopeworth]

dick & bruce; you'll never recover from that kind of devotion.

(transcripts & sources under cut)

Leah Horlick, “For Your Own Good” 

[You’ll never recover // from that kind of devotion.]

2. The New Titans (1988) #61

[DICK: I don’t believe this. That man raised me. I’ve gone through hell with him and because of him. Don’t lecture me about him until you’ve cared for him and loved him as long as I have.]

3. Trista Mateer, “Baggage” from Honeybee 

[I’ve gotten so good // about not flinching at the sound of your name // that people don’t know I’d still throw myself // mouth-open into the ocean // for the chance to drown somewhere you might see it.]

4. Robin (1993) #13

[BRUCE: I assumed you wanted to get away from under my shadow. Make a name for yourself. You’ve done that. Created a life. Fought your own fights. I didn’t have the right to call you back.

DICK: … the right? I’d die for you, Bruce.]

5. Yves Olade, “When rome falls” from Bloodsport

[All that matters is that you want me // Say the word & I’ll burn for ten days.]

6. Nightwing (1996) #95

[DICK: Hello?

BRUCE: Dick--

DICK: Bruce! Is everything all right?

BRUCE: There's some unusual activity in Gotham. How soon can you be home?

DICK: I'm on my way! Sorry, Catalina--I’ve gotta go.

CATALINA’S NARRATION: Of course.]

7. trans. Anne Carson, An Oresteia

[PYLADES: I’ll take care of you

ORESTES: It’s rotten work.

PYLADES: Not to me. Not if it’s you.]

8. The New Titans (1988) #61

[DICK: No. I meant why did you contact me?

BRUCE: I nee-- I could use your help.

DICK: I’m here. Anytime.]

9. Regina Specter, “The Call”

[[Chorus]

I’ll come back when you call me // No need to say goodbye]

[twopoppies]

Hi Gina!

I saw that you just posted another list of re-read fics and I’m enjoying seeing everyone’s list as well. I have re-read Unbelievers/Bloodsport, Escapade and Relief Next to Me a few times, as others have mentioned but I’ve got a few other less hyped ones that I turn to quite often.

1) Golden and Strangers Stars by Shaylea (I am hoping they are continuing to write because their writing style is awesome)

2) Own The Scars by @crinkle-eyed-boo

3) The Light to Guide Me Home and Sail Away With Me by @tommosgun Star_Henderson

4) The Greatest Thing by @infinitelymint

5) U Pop Truck Stop by @kingsofeverything, which I love sooo many of their fics but I’ve read this little one shot more times than I should admit! It’s just so cute and funny!

Thanks Gina, hope your day is great!

I've read most of those and agree they're great! Thanks for adding to the list!

Golden by Shaylea

Stranger Stars by Shaylea

Own The Scars by @crinkle-eyed-boo

The Light to Guide Me Home by Star_Henderson / @tommosgun

Sail Away With Me by Star_Henderson / @tommosgun

The Greatest Thing by @infinitelymint

U-Pop Truck Stop by @kingsofeverything

How are we feeling about our finale 4-6 hours of minecraft bloodsports because I am screaming!!

RIGHT?????? i'm still reeling a little bit, and the art i've seen so far from this session is already SO COOL

also like the sheer amount of role reversals/parallels between pearl and scar's past life seasons is kinda making me go insane. in some ways it came down to scar fighting himself from third life and pearl fighting herself from double life, seeing themselves from the other side, and there is a whole Thing there about their last-minute doomed allyship being forged by deep understanding of each other's situation that a better writer than me could probably make something incredible with.

they're not kidding they literally couldn't script this if they tried
